New Premium Valuation Options


Hey All! We released earlier to our registered users some new options for valuation. You can see the new page here. You can see our pricing breakdown here. You will have to log-in first. Essentially, we now offer the following kinds of valuation services:


  • Basic valuation. Users can perform a "do-it-yourself" valuation of their company. Companies can be in any industry or at any stage and the valuation still works. The only limitation of this method is that it creates a valuation based solely on public comparables. To get M&A comparables added to your valuation (which will make the valuation more accurate, and generally higher), you need to subscribe or pay for a one-time "assisted valuation." All of the unique benefits of working with VR are included: valuation is updated daily forever, company value chart like a stock price chart is available to you, complete set of comparables is included, etc.

  • Assisted valuation / premium valuation. VR helps to make sure that the user gets it totally right. This is helpful for folks who don't have a lot of experience doing valuations. We also make sure that the user gets access to M&A data for their specific industry. We don't grant them complete access to M&A data for all industries, but for their specific valuation, we make sure they get everything they need.

  • Subscribers. Subscribers get access to all M&A data and therefore can do very accurate valuations themselves. They also get prioritized access for basically any requests from the VR Research team.

  • 409a Valuations or Appraisal Valuations. For customers who need a totally complete, thorough, and legally defensible valuation, we recommend that they purchase a 409a valuation. We offer these valuations for between $1,999 and $3,999. We partner with top-tier appraisers to offer these to our customers. We guarantee you will not get a full appraisal or 409a valuation without sacrificing quality for less than we will offer it to you.

  • Enterprise Subscribers. This option is ideal for our power users or for firms who want us to value all of their "portfolio" companies. We create detailed and highly accurate valuations for each company. We can even do 409a valuations as often as they would like. We provide them with daily valuation updates, charting, portfolio valuation (we value the entire portfolio), etc. They also get top priority access to our VR Research team, etc.

Anyway, we are extremely excited about this and want to thank Jon our lead developer for all of his hard, hard work in getting us here. Jon, you rock.
